# My not-so-personal diary
Since I was young(er), I've wanted to write. I've liked reading, and I wanted to write something myself.
Never had an idea about what I wanted to write, I just wanted to write. Something that was mine.
It needn't be a story, doesn't even have to make much sense. I just want my thoughts to take shape
into words, into something which the future me, or others can read, something which hopefully
affects the reader in some way. It's about leaving a mark, not about being good or widely known.
## But, what do I want to write about?
Everything around me influences me, more than I'd like to admit. Every now and then I have this
new experience, something new to talk about. I don't want to stick to a theme, that's not the
kind of person I am. But, I don't want my writings to get diluted with all the irrelevant
thoughts I have. Which takes me to the conclusion that, I have a lot of thoughts, and much
of them are worth writing about. But, there's nothing keeping them in check. I need a mechanism
to organize my thoughts, before I can go on and write something meaningful.
### Journaling
I've found that, keeping a journal or a diary is one of the best ways to organize your thoughts.
Writing your experiences in a diary helps you control your emotions, and makes your thoughts
clear. And it also makes your writing better, so that's like killing two birds with one stone.
## The meaning behind The NonPersonal Diary
NonPersonal is a term whose meaning I just made up. This blog contains excerpts from my personal
diary/journal, pointless stories, or other things written by me. In a way, this blog is my
personal diary, but the public version. So it's not-so-personal, or you can say, NonPersonal.
# About Me
My name is Vidhu Kant Sharma, and I also have another website named [vidhukant.com](https://vidhukant.com)
but since I don't expect to have much common audience on both of them, I'll introduce myself here.

Like I said, I'm Vidhu Kant, and I feel like I may not have a way with words,
but my words do have a way. Welcome to The NonPersonal Diary, the way of my words.
Bring your friends along, this is a journey. A whacky one.
Anyways, I am inside your computer now. I'm totally not illegally mining bitcoin
in your browser, just ignore your machine getting slow, [it's all in your head](/all-in-your-head).
